#26: CAO Brazilia and Rocky Patel Edge

The CAO were dried out

Smooth taste..excellent smoking cigar

Great sampler definitely buy again

Very satisfying

This is a very good cigar with a bold smooth taste

The cigars wrefresh, and to me pretty quickly.

Both cigars were great.

Great value in quality sticks

Quick shipping good smokes. I will definitely buy from cigars international again

Smoke great and rock

We loved both of these cigars. CAO has become almost a daily smoke for us. Rocky Patel we often save for special occasions.

Great taste

Great combination!

amongst my rotation

Rocky P was great I didn’t care For the CAO. I didn’t like it taste

The CAO were excellent for my taste, while the Patel's we're a bit strong and burned unevenly. We all have different tastes though, so you may feel differently. Well worth the price of you want to try something new.

I have enjoyed both CAO and the Rocky Patel. Both had a great taste and easy draw

These are two of my favs. Both rock with flavor and smoothness. The two bundled together are a great pairing. These are truly two of my favorite smokes.

Cigars International does it again. Highly recommend them to anyone. Great quality for great prices. The sticks were a great smoke. CAO 🇧🇷 I thoroughly enjoyed. Rocky Patel Edge is now my favorite stick out of all the RP sticks. Great bundle at a great price.

Great cigars for great price

Glad I got this sampler,never had before will keep a look out for sales

The CAO Brazilla cigars are top notch. The combination of the two (Rocky Patel) , makes this a slam dunk. Great value guys.

Good combo. CAO smokes good, rocky is not my type but good overall deal

Both very nice long smoking cigars

Great combination. Just right for me.

All of the items I have ever ordered have come quickly and I have never had an issue. I get all my supplies from CI.

Steady

I appreciate the cigars smooth taste that's it

great value & flavor

Great smoke, I recommend the purchase of these cigars

Good bargin

Bought these for my dad for his birthday and he loves them. Said they have a smooth taste.

Well worth the value. The CAO is surprisingly good for the value. Definitely recommend if you want a 45-60 min cigar.

I don’t care much for the Rocky Patels - bitter and too dark. but the CAO’s are awesome - next time I’ll try the CAO dream team sampler.

Both cigars have smooth draw and great taste 🙂

Some of my favorite smokes.

great smoke robust flavor and good value

Great buy and smoke

Nice!!!

Great product great price.

Two of my all time favorites from two of the best cigar manufacturers on the planet IMHO.. Brazilia has never let me down neither has Rocky Patel. Highly highly recommend this sampler. Will definitely be ordering more....

Thoroughly enjoyed both sticks. CAO had a great burn and just enough strength to make it worthwhile but not be overpowering. The edge has a very fulfilling flavor as well.

Good n ci fresh every time

The patels were great! Unfortunately, one of the Brazillias had plug in it that made the draw impossible.

This package is great. Sometimes the CAO's are wrapped so tight its hard to draw. These smoked well, perfect on the golf course. The Rocky's are awesome from start to finish, both enjoyed with a glass of neat bourbon. ;)

Solid Smoke, full flavor for reasonable price

Everything was great

Perfect morning (CAO Brazilia) and evening (Edge) cigars

Oth really nice smokes. Great while BBQ.

Both of these are really good cigars - both well composed and wrapped - with nice easy draws. For me, the Rocky Patel Edge is a 3.5 and the CAO Brazilia is a 5.0 pretty much solely on the richer, bolder flavor of the CAO. I just received a 20-pack reorder of the CAO Brazilia

Great smoke.

so both of these cigars are on my favorites list and to get them together is a treat

Greta value for great smokes.

CAO Brazillia very good burn even not runs. Rocky Patel soft roll, burn uneven, ran terribly

A little strong but still good cigars

Good construction, draw and burn.

Love both of these! Great smokes!

I like getting mixtures of the cigars that I like. CAO's and Rocky Patel's are both good smokes. I get the combination often.

These are very good premium cigars at a great price. This is a good pairing with each offering a slightly different flavor profile. As always fast shipping and excellent customer service.

Great deal awesome some

Love the edge Maduro and even though I’m a die hard cao Columbia the Brazil’s is great also.

Great smokes

I believe the CAO Brazilia may be my favorite cigar. Rocky was ok. Both were quality cigars, even burns and easy draws. One is just more to my liking.

I purchase this combination frequently I really like this blend Of maduro cigars.

Great cigars at a great price!!

CAO started to fall apart after a couple of minutes

One of the few in our 'top' category at home. Consistently easy draw, great full smoke, full flavor strength to the end.

Great smokes, CAO Brazil in particular are a great daily, and this price can't be beat.

Both excellent smokes. No burn issues, full bodied, and smooth. Never smoked a CAO before, RP never disappoints. Will be back for more.

Good cigar

👍

Two superstars, these are both good cigars. These two remind me of twin sisters I used to know. It was a lucky day if they picked you.

👍

The CAO has a great flavor. The combo price for the CAO and the Rocky is a awesome value. Love how the blend of the Patel finishes

Both of these guys are good upper middle class sticks. Rocky 90 was my first smoke so it will always hold a place in my humidor. CAO offers uncompromising value and the Brazilia is always on point.

Great!

Great

great smoke

All great smokes!

Great smokes! Good flavor nice even draw.

Good smoke

Quality mix and taste

Love the way these cigars are put together. Nice firmness and even burn. Great medium bodied cigars.

Excellent overall for the money.

Average cigar , decent sale price

Great service!

i highly recommend this sampler. It has great quality.

Good cigars at a good price. Love the gentleman's deuce from CI!

Good smokes at exorbitant price

Much stronger then I anticipated.

This is an excellent combo. Brazilia is rich and full bodied without being overpowering. The Rocky Edge has been a personal favorite for years so any combo with it is immediately desirable for me. Both cigars come from well known manufacturers with tons of blending experience. The only downside of that is being able to try them all! I’m a longtime fan if CI so continue to be a ‘regular.’

A great combination of cigars. This combo represents a perfect pair from CAO and Rocky Patel.

Loved them!

Pretty good sticks! Great taste, size!

Nice

Brazillia had one dud with bad draw but overall pretty good taste.

The Brazil is an unbelievable Smoke it has everything that you're looking for from beginning to end can't say enough good things about it The rocky potato edge was like a perfect appetizer Just wish it was a little bit bigger

They were a good smoke. After looking at some reviews of the CAO I expected more of a dark Chocolate flavor. What I received we more spice than chocolate. Bit overall they were good.

Good value

One of my favorites

Both an all time favorite

These cigars were dry. I did not enjoy them at all. Rocky Patels were excellent, as always.

Ordered these by mistake- but decided to try these anyway. I generally don’t smoke a shorter , large ring gauge such as these but decided to light up anyway. I won’t bore you with construction notes - These are after all a handmade product . All subject to some individual variations. You get the same blunt tobacco taste that is common to all cigars during the first inch or so. The trick here with this shorter model is to take it out of your mouth and let it rest in the ashtray for some minutes before taking subsequent short puffs. You will be rewarded with the different flavors spreading out to become more identifiable and interesting . I leave to your taste and imagination to define your own likes and dislike of the flavor profile. Not overheating the cigar and taking your time with it will reveal a whole host nuance while retaining the forward Nicaraguan experience. While not being a strict fan of Nicaraguan cigars I do find this CAO Brasilia a complex cigar which can be readily quite enjoyable when taken with patience to avoid overheating in order to enjoy the best parts of its flavor and aroma. D

Both of these are amazing

These are both beauties. Great combination of cigars.

Good smoke ok beauty ok sampler

Amazing smoke Amazing cigars

Top rate cigars 👍🏾

Just to dam great cigars

Thank you

The Brazilia was good smoke . The Patel edge was dry and fell apart . Never had this experience before .

CAO man here. I love all their smokes. I'll smoke em down to the nub! The RP is good. Lotta smoke,full bodied. Great deal on these cigars!

Good group, i haven't try them yet.

The Brazilia is my favorite smoke with a bonus Patel.

Both are wonderful 'full bodied' sticks. They are regulars in my humidor.

Awesome cigars

Nice

I am enjoying these cigars. Good flavor. Good price.

Great s.okes

Fresh and tasty!

Easily a daily regular!

The deal was good cigars are great

I love the Rocky's, but the Brazillias tend to be plugged with a difficult draw and uneven burn. They used to be one of my favorites. Adios Brazillias!

Great smoke

Nice pairing

Two great cigars. The CAO with a coffee and woody undertones makes it an enjoyable night with a glass of wine in front of a fire.

I'll take CAO over Rocky any day

Fantastic !!

Nice

The CAO Brazil’s was great as usual but the Rocky Patel Edge was dry and tasteless

I really love these cigars. I buy this sampler combo often.

Both good cigars. I really like the Rocky Patel Edge, would buy again. They have a smooth easy draw when smoking.

Both good smokes but CAO seemed little dry and hard. Otherwise enjoyed them

Great taste

👍👍

Cao Brazilla is one of my favorite cigars smooth good draw even burn. I found Rocky Patels the edge a little too strong for my taste.

Gave as gift, well enjoyed.

What a duo!!!

I've been smoking both of these cigars for years so I already knew that I love them...the great price when you buy these in the "Gentlemen's Deuce" deal is just icing on the cake! Thanks "CI" for all the years of great deals and fast shipping.

Good Cigars

Bottom line: CI is the best! Top quality on everything they send!

Good smoke. Perfect for daily smokes!

Always good

Bold and good

Always a terrific experience ordering from CI. And what great deals!

Two full bodied beauties

Cigars were excellent smokes.

I love CAO Brazilia Go’s. They are my favorite cigar. Since the sampler included 5 extra cigars for the price it would take just to buy 5 CAOs I figured that I couldn’t lose. The CAOs were great. Everything I read about Rocky Patel cigars seems to be slanted that they are great cigars. But every different smoke I have had from that brand has been a disappointment. These Edge cigars are just as disappointing. It appears that the literature concerning Rocky Patel is just all hype. They just don’t taste very good. But to reiterate, the CAO Brazilia Go’s are fantastic and are my favorite cigar.

Very consistent, enjoyed to their end.

I really enjoy these. Good and strong.

Good smokes. Highly recommend

Great

Good selection Great bang for your buck

Good quality and good price.

Not a bad price for an every day cigar.

Terrific value.

Great

All good.

Both great cigars. No issues here.

Great combo of my favorite smokes!

Both of the cigars are a personal favorites of mine! Great flavors, amazing deal, burns perfect the whole way through. I appreciate the flash sales to grab quality cigars for my humidor!

Also a great buy and a great [email protected]

The quality was perfect and the construction was good.

a good buy

Desert Island daily smokes

Burn good & taste good

This sample pack is a great combination. two greats sticks. Flavor burn and overall quality are perfect. I will purchase again.

These have to be my favorite combination far. They taste amazing and I can enjoy these on the regular. Great group to add these great cigars in. Their rep is definitely vouched for with me!

Loved them both

Great cigars and great deal!

CAO Brasilia! Love them! Tons of flavor. Excellent smoke. Time slows down enjoying one of these. As it should. Rocky Patel The Edge are in my humidor. Came in a bit damp @ 80 percent. Letting them dry down a bit before trying.

good smoke really enjoyed them

Great value and super delicious.

Great combo!

A great burning cigar that won't take all afternoon but isn't quick either.

Enjoyed both these cigars. Complex taste. Light it, smoke it, no fuss, smooth smoke.

Great Stick one of my favorite..

Price was right and the cigars are a great for a daily smoke

Great quality Madura full flavored cigars.

I've ordered this combo many times. Exceedingly rare to get a dud. If you like full flavor and quality construction this is a great way to go.

Both cigars burn consistent with plenty of flavor. Great buy

amazing!

Nice smoke!

Just awsome

👍

I always have a great experience when order with cigar international. Great combo prices, different blend and bundle to choose from.

All are great Cigars the strong flavor I like in a Cigar

Great package!

Great smokes at a great price!

Some of the best

Even firm draw, Brazilia is an excellent, quality cigar, especially when you want a shorter time smoke. Rocky is always a good pick. Won’t purchase cheap cigars any more!

Great as usual!

The Brazilia’s are always good. A little disappointed with the first Edge I had. Some filler in there that looked like kindling when I pulled them out of the cigar. Good deal on these.

Outstanding Combination Package

Really enjoy both of these fine cigars. Great deal on great smokes, win win!!

The CAO are really great and always an enjoyable smoke. The Edge were good smokes but burned unevenly and required constant relighting of unburned side.

great pairing

These 2 cigars have been my daily "go to" cigars for the past 4 yrs. CAO cigars in general have been the best deal for us middle income smokers. I love just about all of their cigars bc of there consistency. The Flathead 660 being my absolute favorite... (but need a little more time to smoke it, and a bit more money ). I always felt the CAO Brazilian deserved a little higher rating bc of its consistency in flavor, construction, burn... whether you punch, vcut, or gilloutine the cap, the draw is always a nice medium pull. Good smake and even burn... hold the ash well..a great med-med full all day any day cigar!... Rocky Patel has been a name in cigars for years and at this point I feel they have more different cigars than any 4 of the other cigar companies. However, with that being mentioned, I feel that there consistency and quality control have diminished. I have always enjoyed the Edge as one of my "dessert" cigars as it has always been one of the most flavorful blends of coffee, chocolate, a tiny bit of pepper on the front and a slight bit of leathery taste on the 2nd and 3rd of the cigar. Wrapper, cap, and veins, have always been excellent quality, but draw and flavor recently have been inconsistent. Sometimes great flavor w/ a nice medium draw, and sometimes "meh" with either very tight or open draw...holds the ash well, sometimes canoes, I think the blending of fillers and long filler may need some quality control.

Great taste and super cigars.

Great deal & great cigars

Both are excellent cigars

Good cigar

Excellent cigars that burn well and are smooth

The CAO Brazilia is my favorite stick. $35 for these ten sticks is a great deal.

The cigars are very very nice

my go to sampler. good value

Good smoke

Great cigars

Great price for quality cigars!

smooth classic Rocky Patel/ CAO

Great for the price.

Great

Full 5 Stars! ...... Burn, Smoke & Flavor top shelf as a medium/full flavor. No question, get this pack again. CG - South Carolina

👍

Really enjoy the CAO. A little disappointed with The edge. I'll stay with the RP 92

Great deal very satisfied

Good everyday cigars

good stuff

Two great sticks. One low price. What’s not to like?

Brazilia are always a consistent smoke! 2 great cigars for a fair price.

Excellent cigars!!!

the title says it all

Great combo and have always been a fan of the CAO family

Great price for 10 high quality cigars. A 91 and 92 rated cigar bundle. A great deal on two smooth smokes.

Overall great cigars!!

They were great 👍

You can't go wrong with 2 quality brands for less than $4 per stick.

Very nice

Haven’t smoked CAO’s in a few years, and have shied away from the really dark cigars. Couldn’t be happier with this bundle though. Very smooth for full bodied cigars

Good value and even burning.

Great cigars!

The rocky Patels would not stay lit and three a couple away.. 2 of the CAOs were good .even burn..good light..the others wouldn't stay lit and burned uneven which is a nono for me

A great deal!

Great for a short smoke. Smooth, good draw.

Great combo💨💨💨💨

Both great cigars on the bold side of things. This is a great pair.

Great sampler for the $$

CAO Brazil are one of my altimeter favorites. Can never go wrong. Grate taste and burns great. And what can be said about Rocky Patel Edge that hasn’t already been said.
